Gaming

Xbox One S Console Bundle - $190 ($60 off)

Buy on B&H Photo, $206 on Amazon

Buy the Choose Your Own Edition model on Amazon

Anything under $250 is a great price for the Xbox One S, which is still the mainstream Microsoft console that'll play all Xbox One games—just not in 4K.

PlayStation 4 1TB - $250 ($50 off)

Buy on Target, B&H Photo, Bed Bath & Beyond

The PS4 Pro is normally $400, and is Sony’s newest, most powerful PlayStation. If you own a 4K TV, this is the PS4 you’ll want to buy.

Blackout Yeti USB Microphone and Assassin's Creed Origins Bundle - $99 ($40 off)

If you’re hoping to get into Twitch broadcasting, podcasting, or just want a nice microphone for your PC, this bundle is great, and includes the new Assassin’s Creed game.

New Nintendo 3DS XL - $179 ($20 off)

Buy on Walmart

If you can't afford a Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo 3DS has a fantastic catalog of games to play. If you don't care about 3D (and few games really utilize the 3D tech well, anyway), you can save another $30 with the new 2DS XL.

PS4 Controllers - $48 ($12 off)

Buy PS4 Controllers on Amazon

PS4 controllers seem like they run out of juice every day or two, and they always cost at least $60 to replace. The prices seem to be rising as Christmas approaches, but it's still an excellent time to pick up a spare.

Nintendo Switch is now available - $300

Buy on Amazon

The Nintendo Switch isn’t on discount, but it is in stock, and that should be good enough for a lot of you. There are at least half a dozen amazing games for the Switch already, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (recently voted Game of the Year) and Super Mario Odyssey. It’s a different kind of console that has a bright future ahead of it.

PlayStation VR Headset with Skyrim VR - $350 ($100 off)

Buy Skyrim VR Bundle on GameStop, Target, Best Buy, Amazon

Audio

UE Megaboom - $150 ($150 off)

Buy on Amazon

It’s the size of a 24-ounce beer, but if you can handle that, the Megaboom is one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers around---better than the Boom 2.

JBL Link Portable Waterproof Speakers - Starting at $120 ($60 off)

Buy on Walmart

Almost all the features of a Google Home Assistant, in a portable, waterproof package that sounds great.

Sonos Play:1 - $150 ($50 off)

The Play:1 doesn’t have Alexa like the Sonos One, but it’s still a fantastic speaker, and especially good to help build out a surround sound system. Read our full guide to all things Sonos for more information.

V-Moda Crossfade Wireless Headphones - $180 ($120 off)

Buy on Microsoft Store

V-Moda’s headphones are some of the best in the world, and they’re more than $100 off right now. Amazon has the standard wired V-Moda Crossfades for $150, which are also amazing.

Buy on Best Buy, $100 at Amazon

The Boom 2 is still one of WIRED’s favorite speakers and this is a positively unbelievable price for it.

Google Home - $79 ($50 off)

Buy on Walmart, Jet

Google’s speaker can understand some requests better than Alexa and we prefer it for playing music, but it doesn’t yet connect to nearly as many household smart devices as Amazon’s Echo speaker.

Google Home Mini - $29 ($20 off)

Buy on Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy

Like the Amazon Echo Dot, the Home Mini doesn’t output sound well enough to use as a music player, but it does let you bark commands from any room on the cheap.

Amazon Echo Show - $150 ($80 off)

Buy on Amazon

The Echo Show is basically another Alexa speaker, but with a 7-inch screen on it. This lets you read the weather and hear it. The screen can come in handy for many other tasks, as well.

Home

Instant Pot Duo Mini 3 Qt. Multi-Cooker - $48 ($22 off)

Buy on Amazon

The Instant Pot has been gaining traction for a while now because, well, it can do everything: pressure cook, slow cook, rice, steaming, sautéing, yogurt making, and more. It comes in larger sizes, but the 3 quart version is large enough for two or three people.

iRobot Roomba 690 - $275 ($100 off)

Buy on Amazon

iRobot's midrange Roomba has iRobot's easy-to-use app, Dirt Detect technology and excellent navigational system. Highly recommended as a budget botvac.

Ecobee4 Alexa-Enabled Thermostat with Sensor - $199 ($50 off)

Buy on Amazon

If you aren't pathologically and senselessly attached to the beautiful face of your Nest thermostat, the Ecobee4 is a far better product with more features. And now it's $50 less.

Phillips Hue White and Color Bulb Starter Kit - $140 ($60 off)

Buy on Amazon

These multi-colored lights can create a welcoming ambiance in your home with a mere voice command or swipe on your phone. If you have seasonal affective disorder in the winter, this is a great deal.

Sous Vide is a great way to eat because it cooks food evenly in a nice water bath. This cooker will precisely warm water to the right temperature and circulate it around.

KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer - $200 ($160 off)

Buy on Amazon, Walmart

KitchenAid mixers are still a favorite among bakers, and it’s an appliance that will last.

TV and Home Theater

LG 55-inch Class 4K (2160P) Smart OLED TV - $1,500 ($800 off)

Buy on Walmart, Amazon

LG’s OLED TVs are the best-looking televisions on the market thanks to their “organic light-emitting diode” screens, which produce vivid color and the deepest blacks possible. Until recently, LG’s OLED TVs cost more than $4,000, so it’s fantastic to see them under $2,000.

TCL 49-inch 4K Roku LED TV - $330 ($150 off)

Buy on Amazon

This TCL TV is our favorite TV deal of the holiday season. It’s under $400, plenty big, has a 4K screen, and comes with Roku built in. You can’t get a better TV for the price.

Samsung Electronics 65-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV - $1,300 ($900 off)

Buy on Amazon

It’s not OLED, but this 4K TV looks fantastic, too. Samsung's rich, beautiful quantum-dot displays might be the future of television, but for now, their midrange offerings offer a very similar picture quality to the touted Q series for a thousand bucks less.

LG 49-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV with HDR - $400 ($300 off)

Buy on Dell

LG makes great TVs and its WebOS interface is particularly nice. For the price, this is a great 4K TV.

Sony CT290 Soundbar with Subwoofer - $200 ($80 off)

Buy on Amazon

This entry-level soundbar and subwoofer won’t sound as good as a Sonos, but it’s still a massive upgrade over using those crappy speakers in your TV.
